Soon after the Nanban movement calmed down, Mu Taizu did not send another prince to garrison.

In order to test Mu Qiyan, Mu Taizu temporarily handed over the Nanban to him to govern, considering that the Nanban governance was tricky, he released part of the military power and the righteous king.

Even though they had lost two games before, the Nanban tribes were not reconciled. After all, the palace of the king of righteousness is not in the realm of the Southern Barbarians, thinking of this, all the clans are eager to respond, to give this king of righteousness a dismount, and even more to the Southern Barbarians to get out of the control of the curtain opening.

The prince's faction advises left and right, and there is no one behind the queen Liu, and there is no relationship to rely on, so he can only secretly win over the ministers of the court and the central government to consolidate the prince's position.

The momentum of the DPRK and China could not be transmitted to the west for a while, but the news of the chaos in the south was like a wind blowing and scattered far away.

Zuo Chu received a letter from Tanuki, put the paper on the candle flame and lit it, and asked, "What is the movement of the ancient village?" ”

Xu Eucalyptus told truthfully: "The place where the owner and Miss Zhu often go hunting, they have set traps overnight. There are several heavy stones and hunting nets on the trees, several hunting pits have been dug underground to hide sharp weapons, nearly 100 hunting clips are buried in the snow, and another person has been sent to hide the snow and pile up hidden arrows. ”

Zuo Zhu took the scissors and lightly picked up the wick, the candle flame jumped, and Xu Eucalyptus continued: "In addition, they are going to the Guzhai Tomb Group to dig the tomb of the Zhu girl's biological mother. ”

After a pause in the hand of picking up the wick, Zuo Chu put down the scissors, "You send someone to clear the hidden weapon in the forest, I want her to hunt happily tomorrow!" ”

Xu Eucalyptus received the order, and said: "Owner, can you use a shadow?" ”

Zuo Chu got up: "Not for the time being, if it really comes to the point of slaughtering the village, it's not too late." After saying that, he went out to find Zhu Yi.

There is only one place to go to find Zhu Yi now - in A-Niang's room.

He knocked on the door respectfully, and A-Niang answered, calling for Zhu Yi to open the door. The cold and heat of Zhu Yi have subsided, and a little face facing the sky is no longer red. She stood guard at the door and asked him what was the matter. Ah Niang scolded her for being rude behind her and let Zuo Chu come in and sit.

Zhu Yi helped him in and said to Ah Niang: "Isn't it too late to see the sky, I think if Mr. Chu is nothing serious, it is better to rest." He hadn't slept well in a while. ”

A-Niang looked at her and asked with a smile: "Why is Bamboo so worried about Mr. Quercus?" "Zuo Chu is slightly straight, and the end of his back is a little stiff. After Zhu Yi invited him to sit down, he ran to the medicine jar to pound the herbs, his hands were busy, and his mouth didn't stop: "I must be worried, I don't know if the Fusu soul has improved in his body." If the old Gu is not removed, and he can no longer sleep soundly, it is really not good for his eyes. If this has not been cured and delayed Mr. Tsai's return to Jiangnan, I will be too sorry for him. ”

Zuo Chu smiled, he and Ah Niang glanced at each other, Ah Niang also smiled, she nodded, and said, "Yes, Mr. Chu is not resting well, it is indeed bad for the eyes." ”

Zuo Chu hurriedly held his hand: "Ah Niang can call the junior Tingyu, the junior really can't afford the title of 'sir' in your mouth." ”

"Yes, yes, Tingyu, A-Niang's memory is not good, and she always forgets." A-Niang laughed again and again. She looked at Zuo Qi's talent, modest and respectful, always paying attention to Zhu Yi, and became more and more satisfied with this future life in her heart.

Zuo Chu had been looking at the busy Zhu Yi, and Ah Niang couldn't even bear to interrupt him. Sensing being watched, Zuo Chu looked at A-Niang, and saw that she was looking at herself lovingly, and hurriedly said apologetically: "The junior is rude." ”

A-Niang nodded far away: "The people in our small place are not confined to those rituals. Say, what's the matter with coming to her so late? ”

Zuo Chu replied respectfully: "The younger generation wants to discuss with A-Niang and Zhu Yi about moving the grave for Shi Niang." Ah Niang and Zhu Yi, who pounded herbs, were stunned at the same time. Zuo Chu said: "There is a thing in front of you don't know, a few days ago the younger generation heard that Zhu Baiqian of the ancient village bullied Zhu Yi in the forest, when the younger generation rushed over, he killed him by mistake, and now the ancient village has a grudge, and wants to be angry with Zhu Yi, and will definitely make a fuss about the undead of Shi Niang, and the younger generation wants to move out the grave site of Shi Niang before they do it, and re-bury it. ”

Zhu Yi raised his head in astonishment when he heard him say this. A-Niang was puzzled: "How can the third young master of Zhu who didn't work with bamboo in the past ......?"

"The man was very well disguised, he took advantage of Zhu Yi to fight for her prey when she went to the forest alone, and when he heard that he also beat her, the junior didn't hold back, and he hit her harder." Zuo Chu said.

Zhu Yi looked at him, then at A-Niang, and finally said, "Thank you." ”

Zuo Chu turned to her, and his gaze circled her little face: "Since I have angered the owner of the ancient village, I will never allow him to defile the soul of Shi Niang, and I have thought of such a countermeasure now." The fact that the grave was moved is a big deal, and I need your consent. ”

A-Niang looked at Zhu Yi and was worried: "I'm afraid Zhuzi won't agree." She has been called a 'wild seed' for so many years, and every time she will refute it, saying that her mother is sleeping in the group of graves in the ancient village, to prove that she is a person with roots. If you move out, won't it make the people in the village laugh even more? ”

"A-Niang, I agree." Zhu Yi said, "If Mr. Chu has the ability to move my mother's grave, I am very willing." I am even ashamed now that I have the blood of the Guzhai Zhu clan in my body. She walked over, sat on the edge of A-Niang's bed, looked at Zuo Qi, and said seriously: "My mother's grave is in the ancient village, if I die in the future, I must not be buried next to my mother, so lonely?" You might as well follow your thoughts, Mr. Tsubi. ”

"You're still young, how can you think about something that won't die!" A-Niang reached out and knocked her on the head, but Zuo Chu was silent for half an hour because of her words.

Zhu Yi hugged her head and said to A-Niang: "Life and death are rich and noble, where do I know when I will die, just talk about what will happen when I will die in the future......"

"Why do you use honorifics on me again?" Zuo Chu had a bad breath and was a little heavy.

Zhu Yi thought to herself that such a big thing, you are willing to help me, I am especially grateful to you. However, thinking that he didn't like to be polite to him, he had to say, "It's up to you." But...... If you can, can you just dig up your mother's bones, burn them into ashes, and give them to me without choosing another place for burial? ”

A-Niang was surprised, "Bamboo, what do you want to do?" ”

Zhu Yi rubbed her nose, and her tone trembled a little: "I haven't been to see my mother for five years, and I want to put her by my side first." I also know that the dead are the greatest, and they should be buried in the earth, but I really want to wait until I die in the future, and then ask someone to bury our mother and daughter together. Besides, now that the grave site has been chosen for my mother, won't the owner of the village find me to disturb my mother? ”

I don't like to hear her mention death, Zuo Chu frowned: "I can promise you that after incinerating Shi Niang's body, ask your local wizard to requiem her and hand over the ashes to you, but you don't mention 'death' again." ”

Zhu Yi choked in his throat: "I couldn't go there to see my mother before, I didn't expect Mr. Chu to help me like this, I really owe you a ...... again"

Seeing that she agreed, Ah Niang expressed her gratitude to Zuo Zhu, who instructed the two to rest as soon as possible, and then went back to the room to arrange for Shi Niang's grave to be moved.

He does things simply, and when he wants to do it, he does it immediately. The next morning, he sent someone to invite a wizard, and in the afternoon he began to break ground. The grave keeper of the ancient village hurriedly went to report, and when Zhu Teng rushed over, the remnants of Xiao Shi Niang's bones had been surrounded by raging fire, burning for a long time, and finally turned into a handful of ashes.

Zhu Yi hurriedly ran forward, held the urn containing his mother's relatives, and his eyes were red.

Zhu Teng couldn't swallow this bad breath, shook his face and left, and returned to the village to ask people to hurry up and prepare for revenge.

In the evening, the crowd returned.

Ah Niang saw that Zhu Yi was holding a white marble locket, and sighed faintly: "Little Shi Niang, don't blame the bamboo for disturbing you, this child really misses you so much, you have a spirit in the sky, bless her more." ”

Zhu Yi took her mother's ashes back to her wooden house without leaving her hand for a moment, sat quietly for a long time, and rarely fell asleep, so she lay on the bed and fell asleep. Qiu Shui added fire to her in the past, guarded for a while, and saw that she was sleeping peacefully, and went back to tell A-Niang, A-Niang sighed: "Maybe Zhuzi feels that she is not alone now, she is at ease." ”

She shouted that Qiu Shui invited Zuo Chu, and thanked her again. Zuo Chu finally let go of his heart because Zhu Yi was finally stable. Recently, there was a serious lack of rest, and when he got up to say goodbye, he had a dull pain in his left abdomen, and he couldn't help but reach out and press on his abdomen.

Zuo Chu stopped, and he said: "So it wasn't because of her, but fortunately she rescued her that time." ”

A-Niang nodded: "It's better to tell me another day, what happened to her in the past few years." Now that it's getting late, you can go and rest. ”

Zuo Zhu saluted his leave.

Tonight, you will have a good night's sleep......
